About Verumt
Compliance built for companies that build with AI
Verumt is a specialist consultancy focused exclusively on EU AI Act compliance for startups and SMEs. We combine regulatory expertise with technical depth to deliver audit-ready compliance programs — not just legal memos.
Why we started Verumt
When the EU AI Act passed in 2024, we saw the same pattern repeat across dozens of startups: engineering teams uncertain about what the law actually required of their systems, legal teams writing guidance without enough technical context, and founders caught between conflicting advice.
We built Verumt to fix that gap. Our approach is cross-functional from the first day — combining regulatory analysis, technical system review, and documentation in a single engagement. The result is compliance that works in practice, not just on paper.
We work with Series A and B companies across the EU, focusing on high-risk and limited-risk AI systems where the stakes are highest and the documentation requirements most demanding.

Our principles
How we think about compliance, and why it matters for the companies we work with.
Precision over speed
We prioritize technically accurate, audit-ready compliance over fast, template-based reports. Every deliverable is built to hold up under scrutiny.
Proportional to your stage
Compliance should scale with your company. We design programs that match the risk profile and operational maturity of early-stage and growth-stage companies.
Cross-functional by design
Real compliance spans legal, engineering, and product. Our team brings all three disciplines to every engagement — not siloed legal advice.
Built for the EU market
We work exclusively within the EU regulatory framework. No generalist consulting. No boilerplate. Deep, current knowledge of EU AI Act requirements.
